I'm reminded of a line in 'the word for world is forest' by Ursula Le Guin, where the (commander? General?) says the native race to the planet they've occupied are basically just beasts, animals, and one of the diplomats brings up that their troops SV members of those race, and so what did they think they were doing; engaging in zoophilia?
